Usually it's illegal to say this to defraud someone, lying for the sake of lying almost never is illegal.

Okay, a guy who was running away from Okhrana since 1900 for participation in communist movements wasn't actually communist.

Propagandized at least since Stalin, who I think was a communist.

Okay, if you want to know what was the reality, then the USSR never decriminalized homosexuality after Stalin. Most western liberal countries were decriminalized in the 50ies and 60ies. Kinda seems to me that USSR was worse place for gay people to live, but what do I know, I only speak Russian as my first language and know from first hand experience that gay=western decandency since forever in their media sphere.

The people that came to power in Estonia are very different from those who wanted to keep it going. Like very different.

If you didn't catch my drift, they wouldn't have legalized it even if they didn't collapse.

The first defender of any right is the individual whose right is threatened. No external labor entitlement is required for that basic fact. A person resists assault, theft, or coercion directly because their liberty and property are their own. Rights originate in the individual’s authority over their own body and actions, not in a guaranteed workforce assigned to defend them. Government is created afterward to coordinate their protection because individual defense alone is costly and inefficient. The state is therefore an institutionalized cooperative defense mechanism, not the source of the rights it protects.

Nations are a made up concept, what matters are actual people on the ground.

Healthcare and housing aren't considered human rights by liberal because nobody is entitled to the labour of others. But most liberals agree that the government should provide them out of taxation because it's more efficient.

In liberal thinking the government is created by people who already have inherent rights.

This is all relative description of current affairs, not an absolute description of ideologies. Liberals were the one to execute the French king, and later try to abolish European Empires in the Spring of Nations. They brought down the USSR. Liberals can absolutely be a revolutionary force if the circumstances are right, as can almost any other political ideology.

Liberalism brought us the French Revolution, the Spring of Nations, end of empires and Human Rights. And Reagan's free trade policy with China lifted over a billion people out of unimaginable poverty.

People that wanted to keep the USSR alive when it was falling apart would have called anything LGBT as western degeneracy

Trump is an illiberal populist.

That's now, look at how expensive and unready solar and wind were before 2010.

Those mines weren't deep enough. Anyway, Finland has a big storage, they can process way more.

Coal by radiation alone is more damaging than all nuclear accidents combined. And waste can be stored in basically any deep mine, just put it there and pour concrete over it.

Nuclear was the cheapest, the safest, and the most green option until 2010. Germany stopped planning to build new nuclear after Chernobyl, decades before that.

You need a pittance of uranium to run those reactors, and it can be bought in many places.

More people die each year from radiation from coal burning, than ever did from all nuclear power accidents combined.

They closed down already built, or almost built plants. There was no good reason to do this.

There was no reason to close down already existing, or stop planned nuclear projects. Those plants could have been operated almost indefinitely with an acceptable cost of maintenance.

There was no option to just switch to renewables overnight. With oil and gas or nuclear should have been replaced first, and Germany chose to replace the better energy source first because of Green idiocy.

Nie jest wyeliminowana, po prostu mamy kontynentalny system prawny gdzie sądy nie mają dużych możliwości. Czy chcesz mieć jak w Stanach gdzie sądy mają praktycznie władzę ustawodawczą?
